Breadboards, the non-engineers delight
...wonderful and tragic

7. Of course there are professional tools
but they are made for engineers and their process
Plan Execute

8. Fritzing to the rescure
Our original vision: “From prototype to product”

9. Started as funded research project at FHP in 2007
Awesome team! (excerpt shown here)

10. Vision fulfilled in 2009
and funding, too :(

29. What’s next?
Some musts and coulds
Clean up
More parts, better part editor
More learning material
Better website, especially projects & parts
More features:
- ERC to help beginners
- Export to more professional tools
- Support for modular hardware kits (trend?)

30. Thanks.La oss sette i gang!

31. Fritzing-kurs
Huskeliste for å vise funksjonene

32. • Oversikt
• Vis tab’ene øverst med et eksempel
• Vis Core-bin ved å dra ut komponenter i ny fil.
Bla nedover for å vise alt som er der.

33. • Breadboarding
• Vis justering av breadboard, mulighet for
PerfoBoard, rotasjon av komponenter
• Koblinger og kabler m/bøying, hvordan ting blir
koblet/henger sammen på Breadboard
• Hent ut deler fra Bin. Vis justeringsmulighetene.
• Forklar hvorfor man bruker røde/svarte kabler på
strøm
• Bygg et enkelt eksempel

34. • Schematic
• Vis kobling av “enkelt eksempel”
• Vis eksempel på felles GND & VCC
• Vis 555-machinegun eksempel og hvordan
man kan tegne en skjematikk
• Vis autorouting av skjematikk

35. • PCB
• Vis kjapp plassering av komponenter
• Vis ratsnest og manuell tegning av traces
• Vis navigasjon, over/under, flytting av komponenter
• Vis Autorouter og DRC
• Via, Jumper, Text og image
• Vis Ground fill og Ground seed, snakke om hvorfor lodding
på Ground er vanskeligere enn andre pinner
• Vis custom instillinger for selv-laget PCB
